this is what the forums call necroposting or necroing. usually it's acceptable for cleanup projects or media threads if you're adding something to the conversation, since in those cases it's best to have all the info in one place, but if it's something like an old ATT or trope talk query, you're better off creating a new thread

There's no real limit, the problem is that if you're bumping a thread/att/tlp instead of you know, adding something new to it, you'd just be wasting the time of many people who watch new posts for activity. It's okay for recent posts because people may have just overlooked the question in the heat.
